What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is a selective autophagic process essential for maintaining cellular quality and responding to stress. Dysregulation of the CMA pathway is increasingly recognized in various cancers, yet the mechanisms behind CMA hyperactivation in cancer cells remain unclear. Here, we show that CMA is upregulated in patient-derived glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs), indicated by a significant increase in the lysosomal abundance of the CMA receptor, lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 A (LAMP2A). This increase results from MST4-mediated phosphorylation of LAMP2A, enhancing its stability and promoting homotrimer formation while inhibiting degradation by Cathepsin A. CMA supports GSC proliferation and self-renewal by activating mTORC1 through the selective degradation of its negative regulators, TSC1 and TSC2. Additionally, CMA is involved in epigenetic silencing of the cGAS-STING pathway, promoting tumor immune escape via lysosomal degradation of the DNA demethylase TET3. Inhibition of CMA synergizes with immune checkpoint therapy in glioblastoma models, highlighting a potential therapeutic target.
